jonsuey Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi...I just installed my first osCommerce store. Everything installed right, I thought...but I get the following error at the top of the page: Warning Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/users/web/b1725/pow.wintersun/store/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file. Here's the URL to the site: http://store.soulsticesundries.com/ I would sure appreciate any help anyone has on how this can be fixed. Thank you very much, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satish Satish...that didn't work...lost total access to site w/ a "FORBIDDEN - you don't have access...." screen. Anything else it could be?

jonsuey Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 oops...never mind...I had changed permission on the root folder...not the specific "includes/configure.php" - have since changed it, and it seems to work.

satish Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I tried both 444 AND 644 and the message is still appearing in pink at the top. HELP! Your FTP tool command are not successful. This happens generally when Your site is on windows server. Use hosting cpanel and the file manager go to the file and set path.

Guest Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Your FTP tool command are not successful.This happens generally when Your site is on windows server. Use hosting cpanel and the file manager go to the file and set path. Satish Forgive my ignorance, but go into WHICH file and set WHAT path. I'm not using an FTP program, I have set permissions on includes/configure.php to read/write, and have also tried read-only, but I still get the warning message. (FYI - I say read-only, because I have no idea what these numbers everyone throws around are, 777, 644, 444, no clue, read/write/execute/delete that I understand) :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satish Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 4 is read,2 is write, 1 is execute. and there are three groups. So it can range from 444 to 777(read read read is the minimum that is always there). This file: /store/includes/configure.php should have 444 permission.

Guest Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ok, that makes sense, but it doesn't really solve the problem. I have set permissions for all users to read-only (except system and admin which I don't have the option to change) and I still get the error. I'm hosting with webhost4life. Anyone have any ideas?

satish Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Not even for system admin. it has to be read for all. When System admin wants to change first thru FTP modify permission and then work.

Guest Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Try this --> configure.php permissions quick fix on windows based systems I tried this too, but no matter what, when I try to run protect.php in the browser, I get the message 'Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /catalog/admin/includes/protect.php on this server.' My protect.php-file looks like this: <?php chmod('configure.php', 0444); chmod('/catalog/includes/configure.php', 0444); ?> and like this for the one in the /admin/includes/-folder: <?php chmod('configure.php', 0444); chmod('/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php', 0444); ?> What can I do? I also tried editing the configure.php in the FTP program and in the filemanager from my host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
